A heralded recruit from Tonawanda, New York, Keleher took over as the No. 1 pitcher at St. Bonaventure early in her career, setting a then-school record with 91 strikeouts as a freshman. As a sophomore in 2005, she won nine games with a 2.68 ERA.  Most notably, though, she helped the Bonnies earn a spot in the A-10 Tournament for the first time in school history. There, Keleher sparked the Bonnies' first-ever postseason win with 12 innings of three-hit pitching in a 1-0 decision over Saint Joseph's. She was named to the All-Tournament team.

Keleher helped the Bonnies back to the A-10 Tournament in 2006, setting St. Bonaventure single-season records with 18 wins, 122 strikeouts, 30 appearances, 28 starts, 23 complete games, three shutouts and 188 innings pitched.

Keleher was named an Atlantic 10 All-Conference selection both her junior and senior seasons. She holds the school marks for career wins, wins in a single season and shutouts. She also stands second in team history in strikeouts with 384 as well as complete games and starts. She graduated in 2007 with a degree in English.
